Writing Assignment 5, Final Draft

My special day is finally here! Everything looks beautiful, just like I pictured it.

Earlier this morning, large white posts with platforms connecting them were placed near my home. I woke up to the sunlight being blocked by what looks like a large white clothe.

100 white chairs are set up under a white tent.

There are colorful flowers everywhere, but not they're not growing out of the ground.

Hundreds of flowers have been arranged.

A gathering of some sort seems to be starting. I have seen these giants walking around before, but never this many at a time. Suddenly, all the giants, except for a few standing in front of these rows posts with platforms, stood in front of a platform.

Here we go. Time for me to take the first steps of the rest of my life. Everyone stands up, they turn around and look at me. I smile and walk slowly to the rhythm of Pachelbel's Canon in D because played by the string quartet.

This was so odd, I, being the curious lady bug that I am, needed a closer look. I decided to fly up and take a peak at this gathering, and landed on the shoulder of the giant walking towards the other giants that were standing. I believe it was a female. Her skin was covered by white clothe; she must have done business with my friend the silk worm.

When I'm about half way down the isle, a lady bug lands on me. Oh no. Please! This can't be happening! I have hated lady bugs ever since one peed on my hand in second grade right in front of Jimmy Peterson.

As she walked, I spotted a water droplet dripping for her eye, that had lots of colored dirt around it!

I didn’t even noticed myself crying, I hope it doesn’t smear my makeup. Just...try to stay calm. I look at Sam, he looks so classy.

She had long, yellowish hay sprouting out of her hair, that was fashioned into spirals that I decided to crawl onto.

Oh my God, it's crawling into my hair! I look at my maid of honor, Julie. She smiles. Finally, I'm at the alter.

When she stopped, she was standing in front of what I thought was a man, wearing black clothe, and another man, who was facing the rest of the giants. They all bent their knees and placed their behinds on the platforms. The man facing out began to speak. I crawled down to the woman's hand, and I saw another hand reach for it.

The ceremony started, and all I could was the lady bug crawling up my arm. Sam puts the ring on my finger, noticing the lady bug. He knows what happened in second grade, so he whispers "It's ok," with a smile.

I retreated back up her arm, as the man placed a shiny ring on one of her fingers.

We say our vows and are pronounced man and wife. We run through the isle (partly out of excitement, mostly to get the lady bug off me) and towards the limo.

A few minutes later, the man and women, who seemed to be mates, walked back the way the woman had come, while the other giants took their behinds off the platforms and put their hands together to make slapping sounds. The mates began to run, making my ride a little bumpy! They headed toward a long, black box, which was sitting on two with large circles.

Sam opens the limo door and I slip in, as he follows close behind.

As the man opened the side of the box, the women entered it, and the man followed and closed the box. I felt myself moving, and decided I need to get out of this moving box. I crawled up onto the woman's nose.

As the limo starts driving, the lady bug crawls onto my nose. I let out a scream.

She squeaked.

I open the window. The lady bug flies out of the window.

She opened a portal to the outside and I made my escape!

Now....now I can focus on the rest of the evening with my husband.

The other giants were still clapping.
